I know this supplement isn't considered ideal in RP world, but I had this in the cabinet since sometime last year and thought it might be good to go ahead and give it a try, especially since I'm at the point where I became sort of "down" about my condition. I thought if it helped me it was at least a good starting point. My temps haven't really changed much since starting the RP foods last March, and I've done a lot of experimenting on myself with diet and supplements over the last year. I think my condition has been going on too long for diet alone to fix it. Maybe it would fix someone younger or who hadn't been having issues for so long.
Anyway, I've been taking one capsule in the morning of this Raw Thyroid. This makes day #4, but I think I started to be able to tell a difference since yesterday. It's subtle, but I believe there is something going on in a good way. My temps have stayed a little higher, consistently. Even this afternoon when I'd normally be in the 97s, I've maintained the low 98s. I even went to 99 for a while. The last time I saw that before I started this supplement, was after a cup of coffee and a long, hot shower, after which I dressed in winter clothes, got under the covers, and turned on a space heater. I've had plenty of energy today and felt motivated to actually do stuff I've put off for so long, as well as had a positive mood all day.
The supplement contains 390 mg. of a "synergistic complex" of thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, thymus, spleen. Also kelp. I know kelp is a no-no, but it's down on the ingredient list, and I'm hoping that since I don't get a lot of iodine otherwise, that it will be OK. I have lessened the amount of milk I use, and have seafood about 1x week. So hopefully the little bit of kelp won't be the end of the world. At any rate, this is just to see if I felt a difference one way or another on a thyroid supplement, not that I'll necessarily only use this one.
My pulse has been a little lower, but I consider that good since the last couple weeks before starting this, I was in the 90s all the time (particularly after getting palpitations from the pregnenolone supplement when it would go to the high 90s, sometimes 100 after eating. That problem is gone now). Now my pulse is in the mid 80s today.
So, temps in 98's, usually close to 98.6, pulse between 84 - 88. Energy, optimism. And my skin is looking better, though I've also been using 200 - 300 mg. progest-E lately too. Sleep is great. I usually feel warm in hands and feet.
I'm just relaying my experience so far and wondering what other RP'ers think. If there's a thyroid supplement similar to this one that is more recommended here.
